GRILLED BOK CHOY WITH GINGER SCALLION GARLIC OIL

Steps:

• Heat a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Arrange the bok choy on a sheet tray, or place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Place the bok choy onto the heated grill or grill pan, cut-side down and cook until wilted and grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for until tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the grill onto a platter. Drizzle with the Garlic, Ginger and Scallion Oil (recipe follows), a sprinkling of sesame seeds and flaky salt.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the tablespoon of neutral oil and heat until shimmering. Add the ginger, scallions, garlic and salt and cook, stirring, to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil and the remaining 1 cup neutral oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally and taking care not to let the oil get too hot, until the oil is infused with flavors, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

GRILLED SOY, GINGER AND LIME TOFU STEAKS WITH CHARRED BABY BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Put the tofu steaks on a paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet and top with more paper towels, pressing gently to remove excess moisture. Remove the paper towels and towel and sprinkle the tofu with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Stir to combine the soy sauce, cilantro, lime juice, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and scallion whites in a medium bowl. Pour 1/3 cup of the marinade over the tofu steaks, flipping to coat both sides. Reserve the remaining marinade for serving.
• Put the bok choy on another rimmed baking sheet and brush all sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Prepare a grill for medium heat and brush the grates of the grill with oil.
• Put the tofu steaks and bok choy, cut-sides down, on the grill at an angle across the grates. Close the lid of the grill and cook for 5 minutes, then rotate both the tofu and the bok choy 90 degrees and cook another 5 minutes with the lid closed. Flip the tofu steaks and bok choy and cook for another 10 minutes with the lid closed, rotating 90 degrees halfway through to create crosshatch grill marks.
• Remove the tofu and bok choy to a platter. Spoon the reserved marinade over the tofu and bok choy and sprinkle the tofu steaks with the scallion greens and toasted sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• In a bowl, mix butter, garlic powder, paprika, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Slice the bottom off the head of bok choy, and remove and clean the stalks. Sprinkle seasoned salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper over both sides of the stalks.
• Lay the bok choy stalks on the preheated grill. Brush with seasoned butter mixture, cover the grill, and cook until the bok choy stalks show grill marks and the leaves are crisp at the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the bok choy, brush with butter mixture, cover, and grill the other sides. Brush with any remaining butter mixture, and remove to a platter to serve.
